Re: Bioscrip
Hello to all,
I agree with the last post except for a few exceptions. I run PICC Resource Associates- the company referenced here and we get calls asking about precepting all of the time. We do offer precepting for companies/facilities, and when individuals call in that are signing up on their own and would not be able to pay for this type of precepting, I make a point of telling them about other avenues to seek precepting. Home infusion companies, especially large companies like Bioscrip have nurses on their staff that are experienced in PICC insertion and often they may have this staff precept other nurses who have completed a PICC insertion class if they have a need for more PICC trained staff. I do agree that there is not much point to taking a PICC class if you have no way to get precepted after a class. We recommend clients set up precepting as soon after a class as is possible.
